Els would hit his approach to 15 feet in 3 shots, Goosen was short right of the green and failed to chip close resulting in a par. Branden Grace would find the front right of the green and two putt for his birdie 4.Els had a putt to extend the playoff, but he missed, leaving Grace with a tap in and his second title in two weeks.
